Madelyn Freeman recently graduated from Louisiana State University – Shreveport (LSUS) with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Psychology where she earned the designation of Summa Cum Laude for having the highest grade point average (GPA) in the Psychology program. 

The 2021 Jonesboro-Hodge High School graduate, where she was the Valedictorian of her class, not only completed her collegiate undergraduate requirements in just four short years but was also awarded the University Award for the 2024-25 school year at LSUS for her leadership, academic performance, and discipline.

Chasing a dream she has had since the 9th grade in high school, Freeman will now study to pass the 8-hour-long Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) exam required to get into medical school with a focus on becoming a Neuropsychiatrist.

This is a medical specialist who focuses on the relationship between the brain and behavior, evaluating and treating disorders that affect both neurological and psychiatric aspects. They provide care for individuals with a range of conditions, including emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and perceptual difficulties.
